Today

1348 Robson, 4548 West 13th, 3050 West 14th, 4735 West 6th and 2730 William still have their buildings from before 1946; 2441 East 4th (2011), 596 East 51st (1975), 752 East 51st (1969), 1657 East 57th (2013), 1834 East Pender (1959), 3196 Heather (1976) and 2219 Kingsway (1980) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2525 Cypress, 2663 Grant, 1066 Haro, 1329 Harwood, 756 Homer, 1777 Robson, 1455 West 12th, 2115 West 13th, 2177 West 2nd, 1416 West 5th and 169 West Pender, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).

Henderson's and successor city directories for Vancouver, read by us line by line: the street sections for 1905, 1915, 1925, 1935, 1940 and 1945, and the name section for 1930 and 1940 where we've read it (Vancouver Public Library, BC City Directories). Names are shown through 1945, as printed. Close spellings are grouped, as on the house pages, since a family's name was often spelled differently from one year to the next; one name can still be several families, and we join lines only where the first names or initials agree. Many Chinese, Japanese and other residents weren't named by the canvassers, so they can't be listed by name: their houses' pages say where. More family names under W. Want a name removed? Tell us.
